Investigators on Sunday continued to search for a motive behind the gunning down of a Houston area sheriff's deputy.
The suspect in the case, Shannon J. Miles, was arrested Saturday and charged with capital murder. He will likely be arraigned Monday.
Miles is accused of fatally shooting Deputy Darren Goforth, a 10-year veteran with the sheriff's office, in the back late Friday. Goforth, 47, was filling his car at a gas station in Harris County, Texas, at the time of the attack. A makeshift memorial with balloons and flowers has popped up at the site.
Miles, 30, has a previous criminal record, including resisting arrest and disorderly conduct with a firearm.

Sheriff Ron Hickman said Saturday that the shooting was "unprovoked," attributing it to the "very dangerous national rhetoric" about police officers nationwide.
"When rhetoric ramps up to the point where cold-blooded assassination has happened, this rhetoric has gotten out of control," he said. "We heard 'black lives matter.' All lives matter. Well, cops' lives matter too, so why don't we drop the qualifier and say 'lives matter' and take that to the bank."
